Our Jardin-forêt Asie in France
It's a social economy project for the general public and between generations, designed to raise awareness and encourage all those involved (organizations, businesses, schools, individuals...) to grow and enjoy Asian plants (Chinese medicinal plants, Asian flowers, Asian vegetables...) organically, in order to avoid the pollution caused by international transport and import packaging.
It's a real educational tool, enabling the transmission of know-how, recipes and cultures. It illustrates a more sustainable way of eating, from the farm to the plate.
The project was launched in 2021 at the Château Nanterre (3 minutes from the Nanterre Ville train station), where our garden plot and related activities are located.
In 2023, we transformed an urban area in Nanterre into an educational Asian Forest Garden!
Here's a video of one of our workshops!
✍ This innovative project was funded by Reforestaction & Pampers international. It is made possible thanks to the Château ETIC and the city of Nanterre.Thanks!
In 2025, as a recipient of the Nanterre Ecological Transition Grant, TESFEC continues to transform urban wastelands into thriving urban oases through active citizen participation. A 1,053 m² site is currently being developed thanks to the support of the City of Nanterre and our corporate sponsor, Atlantique Packaging.
Our mission is rooted in strong values: ecological commitment, knowledge sharing, inclusion, and collective action in service of future generations.
